OVERFLOWING PROSPERITY

  OVERFLOWING PROSPERITY Zechariah 1:13-21 Devotional:- “Again proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "My cities shall again spread out through prosperity; The LORD will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem'"” (V.17) NKJV At the end of the year, God intends to prosper and supply you with great and pleasant riches (Psalms 65:11). When someone is not prospering in life, everything about him will look odd. When a person is not prosperous, there are so many things responsible. It might be that he is not working in God’s knowledge and understanding; it could also be that he is not working in God’s covenant. This is paying your tithe, offering, blessing the poor, and taking care of your parent, children and men of God. It could also be that he is not faithful to his staff. Such disobedience makes God remove man’s prosperity and set a devourer to his life till he learn his lesson (Joel 2:25, Haggai 1:6-11). But the word of God is powerful, sharper tha...

UNFORGIVING

MATT. 6:5-15
DEVOTIONAL: -“But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Vs. 15)


   Whenever we can’t forgive our fellow brethren, we sin against God. It is very important for us to know that sin hinders our access to the answers of our prayers from the Lord (Psalms 66:18). An unforgiving spirit disallows the liberty of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. It also prevent God from perfecting His work in our lives.
    Unforgiving is keeping someone in your heart because he hurts or offends you. It is holding back your love from such people which gives rise to hatred, bitterness and malice. The Bible instructs that we should not allow bitterness to spring up in our hearts for any reason (Hebrews 12:15).

    There is no one who cannot be hurt. Sometimes, the hurt can be deeper at different occasions, yet we must forgive and let go as children of God. The reason is that, if we are unforgiving, God will not answer our prayers. It can get so bad that God will also not forgive us. When you don’t forgive a child, you put his reward as well as God's reward on hold. To learn forgiveness is to ask for the grace to forgive in prayers and to pray for those who has offended you (Luke 23:34). Whenever you pray for people who have hurt you, you’ve forgiven them (Matt. 5:44). As you do this, your prayers will not be hindered. Peace! 

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to always forgive people who offends me.

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
